Sat, 01 Dec 2012 05:39:24 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=266975#comment-405763As a lifelong Giants fan, I say Barry does not deserve to be in the HOF. In the 90s, Bonds was a magnificent player, never mind the fact he was a world-class asshole. He could hit for average, power the ball over the fence, steal bases, and make spectacular defensive plays look routine. He was beautiful. But he ruined his legacy and damaged the game with his blatant and arrogant use of PEDs. Ultimately, Bonds became the face of everything that was wrong with baseball during that era…and he remains unrepentant about it. I think it is great to remember the player Barry once was, but there is no reason to reward him for his crimes.

Leave Bonds out of the HOF.

Anyhow, I have it on good authority that ‘Burg might have softened her stance on Rush. You should check on that. Today’s Tom Sawyer has a way of sneaking up on you.

Your comment brings up an interesting thought though–have you tried calling yourself “Giancarlo” to assess its effect upon your success with the double-X chromosomes population? You could set up your own little case-control study.

Thu, 29 Nov 2012 05:31:06 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=266975#comment-404723Yes, of course i’m joking. I do know its the pitcher Mike Stanton not the slugger Mike Stanton, but I am mourning the passing of Mike Stanton, Iron Giant slugger of Da Feesg. Why? Well, you remember the speech Crash Davis gave Annie about messing with the streak? Well Stanton, as Mike, was on a streak. He was hitting a ton, injury free, an untouchable old testament god of power hitting on the way up. Decides that “Mike” isn’t the handle he wants to be known by. Decides “Giancarlo” gets the chicks better. Wants to be known as that. Well what happens, eh? He gets injured a lot and Loria sells off the team around him and he’s stuck there with a bunch of scrubs for 4 more years. That didn’t happen to Mike, y’know. That happened to Giancarlo. Why? He messed with the streak is why. This stuff wouldn’t have happened to Mike.

Thu, 29 Nov 2012 04:05:23 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=266975#comment-404705Is that Rush the musical group or Rush Limbaugh? If its the second, that’s cruel and unusual punishment and thus not permitted under the US constitution. (& I’m a conservative.)

Thu, 29 Nov 2012 04:02:15 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=266975#comment-404702I’d pick Larkin over Trammel, but he definitely belongs in the HoF.

George Bell did not rob Trammel of that MVP, that would be the BBWAA. I’d have to say the voters chose Bell because they were enamored of his 47 HRs, and 134 RBI even though Trammel was a much better fielder at a key defensive position and an exponentially better base runner. Trammel had the higher BA too.

I also presume this the only year the 18-year MLB reliever will be on the ballot.

Thu, 29 Nov 2012 00:44:19 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=266975#comment-404636One purposely enhanced his body with drugs to become the great player he became. The other did everything to try to wreck his body and still succeeded. Not a good comparison.

You can argue Bonds was a HOF’er before roids and I’d have a hard time ignoring that argument. But if he’s allowed in DESPITE of what he did with drugs then that’s an issue for me…
